Whitlock: Aaron 'The Jerk' Rodgers and COVID-19 might save America - TheBlaze

Whitlock: Aaron 'The Jerk' Rodgers and COVID-19 might save America - TheBlaze: 

The lockdowns and isolation have sparked a rise in suicides and depression. The normal, healthy development of kids has been compromised. The experimental medical trials don’t seem to prevent COVID as advertised.

The COVID pandemic just might save freedom. It might make men stand up. It has certainly inspired Aaron Rodgers, the NFL’s most talented and interesting player.

Rodgers is remaking “The Jerk” into a superhero movie.

Joe Biden: Four Meat Companies Responsible for Rising Costs - Louder With Crowder

Joe Biden: Four Meat Companies Responsible for Rising Costs - Louder With Crowder: 

Nothing is ever Democrats' fault. When in doubt, they blame private industry and not their policies that make things difficult for private industry. It's their most popular lie next to calling someone racist. It's also a Biden Administration 2022 initiative. Joe Biden announces his plan to beat the meat on Monday. Also, he's confused about why hamburger is so expensive.

Covid misinformation by reporters calling out Covid misinformation | Sharyl Attkisson

Covid misinformation by reporters calling out Covid misinformation | Sharyl Attkisson
"...Too often when establishment figures and media publish factually untrue information or make false statements, it's overlooked or "fact-checked" as accurate.
One prime example is CDC's repeat Covid disinformation. 

• 
  In January last year, the agency's top officials and scientists got caught repeatedly, falsely claiming that Covid vaccine studies early-on showed there was a benefit to people getting vaccinated if they'd already had Covid. That was untrue. Even after the agency's officials admitted on audio recordings that their information was inaccurate, they continued to distribute it on their website to the public and to medical officials. To this day, nobody has been publicly held accountable for the dangerous disinformation.
  
• ...Another, among dozens of examples, is CDC's director falsely telling the public that people who are vaccinated cannot spread Covid. 
• ...A final big one to mention here is the many insistences, from Dr. Anthony Fauci on down, that masks weren't needed or aren't effective-- followed by edicts saying masks should mandatory-- followed by revelations that these very officials weren't wearing them themselves, or observing other mandates applied to others.
• Amid the misinformation and confusion has been the sliding scale definition of "effectiveness" when it comes to Covid-19 vaccines.
• ...They also falsely claimed Covid is a "pandemic of the unvaccinated," even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary...Many more lies with links, read all!

Malkin: Associated Press = Associated Propaganda

Malkin: Associated Press = Associated Propaganda

"...The Fourth Estate will spare no one — not even the dead — in its ruthless pursuit of absolute power over political narratives.

Let us consider a widely disseminated hit piece by Associated Press investigative reporter Michael Biesecker published on Jan. 3. 

Here’s the bias-laden title that reads more like an MSNBC op-ed whine than a straight news headline:

“Ashli Babbitt a Martyr? Her Past Tells a More Complex Story.” 

...wait for it, it’s buried deep down in the article — acquitted by a judge of all the criminal charges. 

That’s it.

The rest of Biesecker’s steaming pile of vile is padded with disgruntled attacks against Babbitt by the still-seething ex-wife...

...Look: We all know if Ashli Babbitt had been black and had been shot and killed at a Defund the Police rally, the AP (which I’ve long said stands for Associated Propaganda) would be ramming the martyr narrative down our throats instead of debunking it...Read all!

CNN Asks Anthony Fauci's Permission to Eat at a Restaurant - Louder With Crowder

CNN Asks Anthony Fauci's Permission to Eat at a Restaurant - Louder With Crowder: 

“How should vaccinated and boosted people behave? Can they go into a restaurant, eat safely indoors right now?”

Let that question percolate in your noggin' for a bit. Fauci is a government official. Dana Bash is, at least in theory, a reporter. Reporters are supposed to hold government officials to account on behalf of the American people. This reporter is ASKING THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL'S PERMISSION for the American people to behave a certain way. This has become common and way too many people accept it.

A new Manhattan DA promises a surge of crime, violent and otherwise - American Thinker
"Manhattan's newly sworn-in District Attorney started by making a very important announcement: He will no longer be enforcing the law. 

This is, of course, illegal and should subject him to criminal prosecution at either the state or the federal level. 

Of course, that won't happen. 

Instead, Manhattan will become a Mad Max-esque city, so rife with crime that, eventually, all normal life stops.

Lies and harassment. This is no longer the America I grew up in.-----More police officers sue Trump over January 6 - CBS News

Three more law enforcement officers are suing former President Trump in two separate lawsuits over his words and actions leading up to the January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol. 

"...Both lawsuits were filed in D.C. federal court Tuesday, two days before the one-year anniversary of the Capitol assault.

"Trump's words and conduct leading up to and on January 6, 2021, and his ratification through silence when words and action were necessary, and his further ratification by direct praise of the rioters, as set forth herein, demonstrated a willful and wanton disregard for and a reckless indifference to Bobby Tabron and DeDivine K. Carter's safety and that of their fellow officers," reads the complaint from Metropolitan Police officers Bobby Tabron and DeDevine Carter.

Nasdaq's diversity rule rankles Republican states

Nasdaq's diversity rule rankles Republican states

• Nasdaq’s diversity initiative mandates companies to have at least one female and one non-white corporate board member.
  

The companies are urged to have 

• at least two diverse directors, 
• including one who self-identifies as female 
• and one who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority
• or LGBTQ+ 

and if not, they must explain why they did not meet the recommended standard.

...The SEC approved Nasdaq’s “Board Diversity Rule” in August.
...“These rules will allow investors to gain a better understanding of Nasdaq-listed companies’ approach to board diversity, while ensuring that those companies have the flexibility to make decisions that best serve their shareholders,” SEC Chair Gary Gensler said in a statement at the time.

All money went to democrat clerks!-----Zuckerbucks Shouldn’t Pay for Elections

Zuckerbucks Shouldn’t Pay for Elections  --By The Editorial Board

• It fans mistrust to let private donors fund official voting duties.
  

"...More than a year later, we’re still getting information about the huge private money that underwrote official government voting efforts in 49 states. 

Much is still unknown, but lawmakers already know enough to ban this practice.
A nonprofit called the Center for Technology and Civic Life, or CTCL, funded by Mark Zuckerberg, says it gave $350 million to nearly 2,500 election departments in the course of the 2020 campaign. 

Last month it posted its 990 tax form for the period, with 199 pages listing grants to support the “safe administration” of voting amid Covid-19. 

Some conservatives see this largess of “Zuckerbucks” as a clever plot to help Democrats win...Read all.

Former FDA commissioner admits cloth masks don't provide protection - TheBlaze: 

Former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb admitted that cloth masks do not provide a high level of protection against COVID-19.

The meaning of trees aflame - The Spectator World
"...Arborcide, of course, has been in the news lately. 

• On December 8, a man set fire to and destroyed the fifty-foot artificial tree outside News Corp headquarters in midtown Manhattan. Forty-nine-year old Craig Tamanaha was arrested on the spot and was naturally released without bail shortly afterwards. Tamamaha, who is homeless, has a long history of aberrant and criminal behavior. He admitted, “I have been thinking about lighting the tree on fire all day long,” but the denied he had done it. “The moms that want to rape their fucking daughters — they set it on fire.”
• Tamanaha, however, is not alone in his obsession. Someone also torched the Christmas tree in Washington Park on the South Side of Chicago. This came after four volunteers who were decorating tree were robbed. 
• Yet another firebug set aflame a fifty-two-foot Christmas tree in Oakland, California’s Jack London Park, the week before Tamanaha found his matches. 

Coast to coast it seems, this flamboyant form of misanthropy has found adherents. 

What is going on?...Read on!
